An Epic history lesson.

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2015)

I love US History. Especially World War 2. And this is a really good retelling of the D-Day invasion. It represents the Allied and Axis points of view of the battle. This same kind of thing would later be done in the studio's later film Tora! Tora! Tora! They got tons of big names in here too. John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Richard Burton, the big people in 1962. If you know anything about World War 2 you'll probably know the premise. The epic D-Day invasion of Nazi-Occupied Normandy, France on June 6,1944 by US and British forces, commanded by General Dwight D Eisenhower. The film does a fantastic job of showing us everything on all scales and on every setting of D-Day. That's probably why it's almost 3 hours long. The massive battle scenes are fantastic, the acting is good, and it's an overall fantastic representation of D-Day. As I said before, it's a long movie but if you get some extra time on your hands, give it a watch.
